Hey I've been hanging for years but I've never gotten a tarp (I take the tent if there is a chance of rain). The first few people posting kept recommending the gear guide 12x12 tarp. And for the price I don't think I could make anything that cheap. They r sold out so what would y'all suggest as being comparable?

OK so it is addicting! Thanks for all the good info. Here's what I'm starting with for a rig.
GT Ultra Light 15.00
50' 7/64 Amsteel 20.00
4 Decender rings 15.00
2" Tree Straps (got them b4 I knew I should have gone 1") 12.00
50' zing-it 7.00
10 X 12 PE Tarp (camo is cool....can't help it) 14.00
Bug Sock 65.00
2 - 8" 2X4 4.00
4 - 2' Re-rod 4.00
1 - Pilates mat (don't tell the wife I have it) 0.00
1- 30 year old sleeping bag that will be an underquilt sooner or later
Misc. Biners - Already had them
Grizz Video's ....priceless
Grand Total $156.00
2X4 are for Labor Day hang where there is only one tree available.
Did I do ok as a noob?

Looks like you have a great start rig working. Hang for a while and you'll know what you need, or want, when upgrading. Get it Get it Gone..............
